Systems and methods of co-editing a design for a printed product is disclosed. According to certain aspects, a server may store tool state variable(s) corresponding to editing tool(s) included in a printed product editor in a database; receive, from a first electronic device executing a first instantiation of the printed product editor, a request for a collaborative communication session with a second electronic device executing a second instantiation of the printed product editor; generate the collaborative communication session between the two devices in response to the request, the collaborative communication session including a state of editing tool(s) of the first instantiation of the printed product editor; update the tool state variable(s) corresponding to the state of editing tool(s) of the first instantiation in the database; and synchronize a state of editing tool(s) of the second instantiation in response to the updating.

A picture frame and methods of setup, gifting, and/or use. Network connection allows digital frames to be set up remotely by a first user for a second user. The first user can upload photos from electronic devices or from photo collections of community members before the second user receives the frame device. The frame is thus ready for display upon powering on by the second user. An integrated camera is used to automatically determine an identity of a frame viewer and can capture gesture-based feedback. The displayed photos are automatically shown and/or changed according to the detected viewers. The photos can be filtered and cropped at the receiver side. Clustering photos by content is used to improve display and to respond to photo viewer desires.

Implementations relate to an image grid with selectively prominent images. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method includes identifying a plurality of images, where each image of the plurality of images has a respective importance score. A subset of the images is selected based at least in part on the respective importance score for each image. The method determines respective one or more cells in a grid for occupation by each of the images, where at least one image of the subset is placed in the grid such that it occupies at least two cells in the grid. The method causes the images to be displayed in a user interface on a display screen based on the grid.

An information processing system includes an intermediary apparatus communicable with a target apparatus, and an information processing apparatus, communicable with the intermediary apparatus, including circuitry. In response to reception of identification information from an operation terminal that has received the identification information from an external source, the circuitry provides information on a candidate service to be associated with the target apparatus to the operation terminal when the received identification information is not registered in association with any service. In response to reception of a selection result of a specific service from the operation terminal at the information processing apparatus, the circuitry registers the target apparatus that is identified based on information identifying the target apparatus to be associated with the specific service selected at the operation terminal, the specific service corresponding to the selection result, and the identification information in association with each other in a memory.

A method for automated routing of pictures taken on mobile electronic devices to a digital picture frame including a camera integrated with the frame, and a network connection module allowing the frame for direct contact and upload of photos from electronic devices or from photo collections of community members. The integrated camera is used to automatically determine an identity of a frame viewer and can capture gesture-based feedback. The displayed photos are automatically shown and/or changed according to the detected viewers. The photos can be filtered and cropped at the receiver side. Clustering photos by content is used to improve display and to respond to photo viewer desires.

Provided are a non-transitory computer-readable medium, a print image control device, and a control method of the print image control device capable of reducing time required for an operation to adjust a position of a print image, and of improving productivity. A CPU performs part specification command input processing in which a command is input to specify a part of a photographic image captured by a camera, characteristic identification processing that identifies a characteristic of fabric on the basis of the command input by the part specification command input processing, generated graphic generation processing that generates a generated graphic relating to the characteristic identified by the characteristic identification processing, and display control processing that controls a display such that the generated graphic generated by the generated graphic generation processing is displayed along with the photographic image and a print image.

A CPU of a PC executes display control processing that displays, on a display, a print image superimposed on a photographic image of a fabric captured by a camera, specified area processing that specifies, as a specified area, a predetermined area of the photographic image, and overlap deleted print image formation processing that forms an overlap deleted print image obtained by deleting an overlapping section from the print image that overlaps the specified area. The CPU projects the overlap deleted print image onto an object to be printed.

An image processing apparatus includes an obtaining unit to obtain a plurality of images, a setting unit to set a first priority mode for a first page if the number of images including an object corresponding to the first priority mode among a plurality of images assigned to a first page is greater than the number of images including an object corresponding to the second priority mode among the plurality of images and set a second priority mode for a second page if the number of images including the object corresponding to the first priority mode among a plurality of images assigned to the second page is less than the number of images including the object corresponding to the second priority mode among the plurality of images.
